Research on ethnobotany study of Dayak society had been conducted in Uut Murung District, Murung Raya Regency, Central Kalimantan.Data was directly collected at the site by roaming method, semi structural interview and open ended of the selected interviewees. Medicinal plants species which are potential and utilized by the society for daily life were recorded and sampled for herbarium specimen. Collection number, location elevation, plant local name and its utilization were recorded for each sample. The results showed that not less than 104 species from 98 generasand58 families. Most of the families wereRubiaceae (11 species), Fabaceae (9 species), Euphorbiaceae (7 species), Moraceae (6 species), Zingiberaceae (4 species), Acanthaceae, Apocynaceae, Thelypteridaceae, Rutaceae, Phyllanthaceae, respectively 3 species, and other families were one species, respectively. Based on the stature, they consisted of trees(30.16 %), shrubs (25.96 %), herbs (18.26 %), climber (13.46 %), Fern (5.77 %), grass (3.85%), and epiphyte(0.96%). Ethnobotany study of plant utilization is expressed in the manuscript.

Aims: Distillers dried grains are the nutrient rich co-product of dry-milled ethanol production. The present study aimed to prove that the nutritional composition of distillers dried grain from a crude hydrolysate of rice husk fermented by cocultures of Saccharomyces cerevisiae with Candida tropicalis difference from unfermented crude rice husk hydrolysate and mono-cultured S. cerevisiae or C. tropicalis. Methodology and results: The effects of mono-and co-cultures S. cerevisiae with C. tropicalis on the nutrient compositions of distillers dried grain were investigated. The crude rice husk hydrolysate in distilled water contained molasses, urea, sodium nitrate, ammonium nitrate, potassium phosphate and magnesium sulfate heptahydrate were fermented by mono-and co-cultures of S. cerevisiae with C. tropicalis for 7 days at 28-30 °C and stored with a relative humidity of 60-70% in the dark. A mono-and a co-culture fermentation of S. cerevisiae and C. tropicalis increased the crude protein, crude fat, crude fibres, ash, and calcium contents of the rice husk feedstock and decreased the metabolic energy reducing sugars. Conclusion, significance and impact of study: Some nutrient components of the DDG crude rice husk hydrolysate performed higher than the non-fermentation of rice husks. The finding of this study will serve as a basic reference for future studies to utilize by-product of ethanol production from rice husks for animal feed formulation.

BACKGROUND፡ Patients experience first-hand quality services from nurses who are directly responsible for their welbeing. However, patient dissatisfaction with nursing services remains a problem in most developing countries. Therefore, this study aims to explore patient satisfaction with nursing care services in an Indonesian hospital.METHOD: A qualitative study with a descriptive phenomenology method was employed. Also, in-depth interviews were conducted with 15 informants, and thematic analysis was adopted to analyze the data.RESULTS: The results of this study are described in the following themes and sub-themes: (1) hospital existence in public eyes: a) service commitment b) accessibility; (2) patients’ background: a) religious aspect, b) cultural influence on perceiving health and sickness.CONCLUSION: Hospital management needs to enhance the quality of nursing services through sustainable education programs and continuous training. These are important to improve nurses’ cognition and skills, and further to ensure patient satisfaction and hospital quality.

Community income of West Java coastal areas ranging from Pelabuhan Ratu area to the coastal area of Leuweung Sancang in South Garut, West Java is fishing. Their daily life is very dependent on the results of fishing in the sea. Livelihoods like this are highly dependent on the condition of the seasons. This makes the life of coastal communities are often categorized as food insecure communities. The longer dry season than the rainy season adds to the livelihood of the community tends to suffer from food insecurity. Jalawure (Tacca leontopetaloides) is one of the plant species that grows on the coast, has tubers containing a high source of carbohydrates and mineral content which can be utilized by the community to overcome such dry conditions. This research was conducted from 2016-2018 in several villages, namely the coast of Kerta Jaya Village (Sukabumi Regency), Cidamar (Cianjur Selatan, Cianjur Regency), Cikelet, Cijambe, Cigadog, Mancagahar, Pameungpeuk, Leuweung Sancang (Garut Regency), West Java. Ethnobotany study of Jalawure is discussed in this manuscript.
